H UNGRY FINGERLINGS
(below) risk capture when
they swarm around the
heron's bait. The heron himself
keeps a lookout for a four-foot
long American crocodile that
cruises the channel. Occasionally
the croc sneaks underwater, intent
on the feathered fisherman. But
when danger comes within a few
feet, my heron flies away with a
loud, scolding "skeow!"
